THPRD offers an abundance of opportunities for the community to exercise their dogs.

THPRD's 200+ park sites, 90 of them with recreational amenities, offer an abundance of opportunities for the community to exercise their dogs. For the protection of wildlife, pets are not allowed within the Tualatin Hills Nature Park or Cooper Mountain Nature Park. All dogs are required to be on leash and under control by their owners while visiting park district property.

THPRD's dog parks are open dawn to dusk, seven days a week.Note: the parks at Winkelman and PCC have grass enclosures that close during winter months; the all-season areas remain open year-round at both locations.

To ensure that our parks are sanitary as well as safe, we require that patrons remove any solid waste contributed by their dog(s).

Established in 2013, the Winkelman Park site (10139 SW 175th Ave.) is located on the east slope of Aloha's Cooper Mountain. It features a two-acre dog park adjacent to a multi-purpose youth athletic field.

THPRD will eventually add a community garden, sheltered picnic seating, play areas, and more to the site.

The park includes an all-season area, as well as separate fenced areas for large and small dogs.

Only the all-season area is open year-round; the remaining areas are open from approximately March 1 to Nov. 1 each year.

Amenities include an agility area, with jump walls and weave poles. A paw wash and pet drinking fountain also is provided.

The park includes a small dog paddock, a winter paddock with wood chips for use during the wet season, and a large, sloped area. Only the winter paddock is open year-round, with the remaining areas open from approximately March 1 to Nov. 1 each year.

The site includes benches, a water fountain, a concrete entry and a chain link fence. Parking spots have been designated for dog park users.

Help keep our parks clean and safe

To keep parks clean, safe and sanitary, we ask that all patrons abide by the following THPRD rules and regulations regarding dogs:

THPRD may post the exclusion of domestic animals from designated park sites during special events, when overcrowding or activities may limit the enjoyment or safety of others.

A dog brought into or kept in other park areas shall be on a leash not more than eight feet in length, or confined in a vehicle, and must be kept under control at all times.

Dog owners are responsible for the immediate removal of all solid waste deposited on any park property.

Dog waste disposal bags can be found on the rules and regulations posts at most THPRD parks. If you have any questions regarding the dog waste bags, please call the THPRD Maintenance Operations office at 503-629-6360.
